Gin Anyone? Malaria being a problem even in the US in 1812, the solution was the classic "gin and tonic" drink created by British soldiers. It has already been discovered that quinine could be used to treat Malaria as early as 1631, although the bitter taste made quinine difficult to drink. British soldiers mixed tonic water laced with quinine with gin, sugar and lime juice.
